pop culture consumers desperate to support muh based non-woke negro and show they're not racist
Good plan: belittle, mock, and deride any anti-Left cultural artifact that exists so you you can keep complaining, rather than actually succeed at anything.
It's amazing how the political right insists on loosing at every turn. I'm not surprised a 90's Democrat like Trump has to teach you fucks how to win.
But then they might have to admit the war is winnable, and its their own defeatism that is making them miserable and causing their losses. And then they might actually have to step up and fight, instead of just bitching and moaning about how its all over but the crying. And we cant have that, because its so much easier to just bitch and moan instead of put your nose to the grindstone and fight.
Half of it is an innate mental failure among the right.
Haidt's concept about how the Left and Right think differently, and the right responds like it is disease-averse, and so tends to isolate itself. Black-pillers do this to an extreme, and Conservatives generally are always more prepared to give ground than to take it.
Meanwhile, the Left live in a complete fucking delusion: Leftist Inevitability Doctrine. There is no circumstance where they will ever accept defeat, even if they have taken 100% losses and total collapse. They are just "on the right side of history", so therefore they will inevitably win, even if they won less today.
It is extremely dangerous to have rightists constantly giving ground, while the leftists constantly set the tempo for the conflict and initiate the fight to take that ground. Again, this is why secession doesn't work. If you're in an entangled gun fight: DON'T LET GO OF THE GUN.
I was listening to Epochs of the Lotus Eaters on: King Æthelstan, and I feel like he hit something similar. The Vikings, who had literally no care for how ruinous they were to the English, kept ravaging every single kingdom on the Isles until even Mercia had fallen and all that was left was Æthelstan in Wessex, simply because it was so far away. Even though he was a Christian, he seemed to be the only Christian in England who realized: "Holy shit, I'm all that's left, and if I fail they'll kill everyone and we will all be slaves (as we pushed the Britons out hundreds of years earlier)."
It's like we are a squadron of Man-At-Arms and every time we see the Vikings, the common retort is: "Well, what if we bribe them? Or run away?"
There's a reason military veterans, particularly marines, appear as activists on the right. They are the only ones who were trained to "Seek out, close with, and destroy the enemy." This is best described by the number of t-shirts displaying the words you see on the bad side of a claymore mine.
The other half of it is that so many young people are so emotionally crippled and terminally online, that they haven't ever been taught the needed emotional stoicism and social intelligence necessary to respond with courage and confidence. They didn't just train boys to be cattle, but cowards.
I suppose the good thing is that people on the Right are starting to learn this again. You have Bannon and people associated with him taking over territory, and you have the likes of Scott Presler (1) making it so that the Republican Party outnumbers the Democrats in registered voters for the first time ever (and most of those votes are being pushed toward MAGA types). And they are using this newfound power to start taking the fight to the enemy in turf they can win to start fighting back. And then you have Daily Wire and other Right-Wing companies and individuals starting to set up their own cultural institutions, and they are even pulling in normies with some of this stuff .
The fight back is coming, and I think the ones in charge understand that. Its why I think they have become so brazen about their corruption. Much like the plotters at the end of a financial scheme, they have pushed it as far as they can go, and so are cashing out everything they can and hoping to make it so that someone else is holding the bag when the music stops.
Of course, keeping up with the Viking analogy, resecuring territory isnt the hard part. The hard part will be dealing with the areas that have been conquered and are under the thumb of the Danelaw. Although I still think we win in the end. And so far, the world has been following the outline from a historian I watched almost a year ago.
(1): I still cant believe they let him get away from Jan. 6 stuff without an arrest, even though he is probably one of their greatest political threats. Of course, it shows that maybe they dont think he is, and that will be their own undoing.
how is buying comics succeding at anything? I don't give a shit about pop cultures and merchs anymore , I just don't.
Good, then piss off and don't buy it. Stop crying that you saw a black man on a comic book, so the rest of us can actually build a parallel economy.
For those of us that still do like consuming entertainment, voting with our wallets is the most power we have.
Okay and dipshit?? Your personal preferences aren't a litmus test. I'm not super into a bunch of different nerd shit that doesn't mean I'm going to shit on someone for putting their money where their mouth is and attempting to make an independent company
why are you chimping out
yeah it's the new version of "I voted for Obama so that means I can't be racist"
He ain't gonna fuck you, bro.
And the only "something" he is attempting to do, is make himself some money.
"These people are NotYourShield but they are ours, look at how much better at identity politics we are!"
I guarantee people are supporting more because hes starting his own non-woke comic than because he's black. Of course you all are so desperate to seem above it all you just assume the dumbest possible motivation
When you're racist, all you see is race.
I don't really care for Rippaverse, but from all I've seen about it, no one positive about it seems to care he's black. More that he promises non-woke comics.
Shit, I've been called a racist. I better rethink every idea I have.
Interesting how nothing I've seen said about it has been to do with identity politics except from people supposedly on the same spectrum as him decrying him for being black.
Which is why I say not to play their games. For instance I love Thomas Sowell because I enjoy his books and have learned a lot. I’ve seen liberals call him an Uncle Tom so trying to play the identity politics game is dumb
Well they shouldn’t just go crazy about him because he is black. Like everyone let them show their worth plus people need to stop worrying about being seen as racist. So sad that the main customers of black race hustlers are white ppl with guilt
